Intro Log
WHO: Horse and You!
WHERE: The Labyrinth and then the City
WHEN: Jan. 28th
WHAT: A talking horse arrives!
WARNINGS: Talking horses
[Labyrinth]
[She didn't understand it. It was some kind of battlefield... was this another one of Wammawink's memories?
... No, it looked different. It felt like home. But it wasn't? There were little differences that seemed like they should be familiar, but it wasn't. It all felt just a little off.]
Wammawink? Guys?
... Rider?
[She sounds a bit hopeful, like she'll get an answer. But it's just a very eerie silence that follows. No Centaurs, no colorful world, no humans... nothing. Just broken weapons and a scarred land.]
Okay, Tree Shamans! You win! You can stop... whatever this is! I just need the next key piece, okay?!
[The City]
[The sight of the city startles her more than the Labyrinth. She's never seen anything so... alive, in her life. All the bright lights and noises are disorienting, and she wanders around the city in a lost daze for what feels like forever.
After a while, she just... lets herself into a building. She doesn't know it yet, but it's a cafe. Not that she knows what a cafe is anyway.]
Oh! Humans! That's great, I need to find a human. Can you help me?
[IT'S JUST A TALKING HORSE EVERYTHING IS FINE.]

I'm Horse. Uh... so... what exactly are you planning to do with me?
no subject
[He was kind of expecting a fancy Doman name or something but Horse is... apt, at least. That... sure is a horse.]
My thought is that, for the night at least, we can put you up in a space my friend is renting. I'll make sure it's not too cold for you. Then when you're rested, we can go down to the Zodiac headquarters ourselves tomorrow and get you a proper place to stay. [He speaks warmly, trying to be comforting, with something vaguely resembling an Indian accent.] They'll provide one if you ask... and, comfort notwithstanding, I don't think we can hide you for long with the accommodations most of us have.
I'm sure someone around here has a house with a big enough yard for a horse. It might be on the edge of the city, but it would work. [He folds his arms.] It just isn't right to stuff you away indoors or have your hooves on bare cement for long. You deserve room to run, like anyone.
no subject
[Horse lifts one of her hooves up.]
I don't mind staying somewhere tonight, but I can't just stay cooped up in someone's yard when I need to get out there and find Rider!
no subject
I know. I don't exactly want to be here either, but I've looked. I got here six moons ago, and I spent so many damn hours just wandering the city limits trying to find something, anything, that might point me home. I even tried to look for a gate I could jump through... But if you go outside, it's just more roads and cities like this one. Rean confirmed as much.
Zodiac is the organization in charge of all this, and whether they're being honest or not, they're the ones holding all the cards. We'll have to play along for now.
no subject
So we're at the mercy of this Zodiac thing?
no subject
[He knows that's not what she wants to hear, so he gives her neck another comforting rub. He doesn't smell like chocobo anymore but he has often preferred the company of animals to people.]
I don't have any evidence saying they didn't cause all of this to happen. Still, we don't exactly have any alternatives at the moment. And to their credit, they haven't done anything obviously hostile.
The moment they do, though... [He punches his other palm.]
